A Numbing Pain in My Back

Mishin

Hello,

I'm 19W and I'm having a numbing pain on my right side of my back. Has anyone felt this? Should I see the doctor immediately? Thanks for all the input.

Is it your low back?  Sciatic nerve inflammation is very common in pregnancy and can cause pain and numbness.  Back pain is not a medical emergency unless you can no longer walk or have loss of bowel or bladder control.  Of course if you're having cramping along with bleeding, then you should see a doctor.  Try Tylenol, heat, rest, and sleeping with a pillow between your knees.  GL!

You're fine

I would make an appointment to see your regular doctor. Numbness indicates a problem with a nerve, and it will probably only get worse for waiting a while. If it is sciatica, you can get a referral to a PT to help control pain/numbness.

I would drink tons of water and change my position to see if that helped before I did anything. Being even slightly dehydrated can cause all sorts of interesting pains and discomforts.
